Zach Wilson insists that moving shortstop Trevor Story to Triple-A Albuquerque from Double-A New Britain is just part of the normal process of developing players for major-league duty.
Wilson, the director of player development for the Rockies' farm system, wouldn't add substance to any other reason for Story's promotion to the Isotopes. There was thought that the Rockies may have wanted Story closer to Denver in Albuquerque than in Connecticut.
"We looked at what he has done in our organization over the last 18 months and it showed us that he is ready for the next challenge," Wilson said.
